There are 1,200 acres to work with at Split Rock Resort, spread amid the woods on a Poconos lake that's miles from anywhere. When you come to the resort, you commit to it wholly, as there are enough activities on site to fill the most active of itineraries.

The obvious front-runner is the water park, more than 50,000 square feet of slips, slides, splashes and kids. Adults can retreat to a 27-hole golf course or racquetball and bocce courts. Families can settle into the movie theater or knock pins at the bowling alley.

Travelzoo members who've stayed previously frequently credit the impressive spread of activities, which keep them out and about rather than in rooms that are looking a little timeworn. The hotel has upgraded several spaces, and continues to cover more ground month by month, but carpets and upholstery have understandably worn down as guests bounce between the water park and mini-golf course.

The staff is a consistent bright spot, however, and Travelzoo members note a friendliness and warmth that covers most of the stay. Be warned though that there are many fees at the resort. Each activity typically has a fee, and there are several other mandatory additions on top of the regular room rate.
